No Apologies #120 – ( 08min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Update: Audio problem has been fixed.

The Sedevacantist professes that the Seat of Peter is now vacant. Benedict XVI  is a false pope posing as the legitimate Vicar of Christ. Their reasoning is that he, and at least 4 of  his predecessors, have taught and believe heresy, and so automatically are deposed of their office. Their error is private judgment, which when looked at reveals a foundation built upon sand.

Ave Maria!

Yesterday Bishop Bernard Fellay of the Society of St. Pius X met with Cardinal William Levada at the offices of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith and was presented with a “doctrinal preamble” for the Society’s consideration and, hopefully, eventual assent.  After the meeting the CDF released a communiqué regarding the meeting.  Here is the most pertinent paragraph:

Given the concerns and requests presented by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X regarding the integrity of the Catholic faith considering the hermeneutic of rupture of the Second Vatican Council in respect of Tradition – hermeneutic mentioned by Pope Benedict XVI in his Address to the Roman Curia of December 22, 2005 -, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith takes as a fundamental basis for a full reconciliation with the Apostolic See the acceptance of the Doctrinal Preamble which was delivered in the course of the meeting of September 14, 2011. This preamble enunciates some of the doctrinal principles and criteria of interpretation of Catholic doctrine necessary for ensuring fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church and to the sentire cum Ecclesia, while leaving open to legitimate discussion the study and theological explanation of particular expressions and formulations present in the texts of the Second Vatican Council and of the Magisterium that followed it.

Notice the reference to Pope Benedict’s Address to the Roman Curia of December 25, 2005 (specifically its rejection of the “hermeneutic of rupture”), as well as the last sentence.  That is the money quote.  It annunciates several things:

  1. The doctrinal principles and criteria of interpretation of Catholic doctrine,
  2. That these are necessary for ensuring fidelity to the Magistierium and the sentire cum Ecclesia (to think with the Church),
  3. Openness to legitimate discussion of the study and theological explanation of particular expressions and formulations present in the texts of Vatican II and the post-conciliar Magisterium.
Thus, the description of the preamble is completely consistent with the 2005 address in which Pope Benedict said the following:

. . .  with the Second Vatican Council the time came when broad new thinking was required.

Its content was certainly only roughly traced in the conciliar texts, but this determined its essential direction, so that the dialogue between reason and faith, particularly important today, found its bearings on the basis of the Second Vatican Council.

This dialogue must now be developed with great openmindedness but also with that clear discernment that the world rightly expects of us in this very moment. Thus, today we can look with gratitude at the Second Vatican Council:  if we interpret and implement it guided by a right hermeneutic, it can be and can become increasingly powerful for the ever necessary renewal of the Church.

Notice here, as well, that this openness to “discussion” and “dialogue” does not seem to imply an invitation to debate the legitimacy of the Council or its documents.  Certainly, it does not suggest that the Church is making a concession on the question of rupture. Pope Benedict is sticking to his guns on the matter of the hermeneutic of continuity and reform.

Bishop Fellay’s post-meeting interview, in fact, confirms this:

Today, for the sake of objectivity, I must acknowledge that in the doctrinal preamble there is no clear-cut distinction between the inviolable dogmatic sphere and the pastoral sphere that is subject to discussion.  The only thing that I can say, because it is part of the press release, is that this preamble contains “certain doctrinal principles and criteria for the interpretation of Catholic doctrine, which are necessary to ensure faithfulness to the Church’s Magisterium and to “sentire cum Ecclesia” [thinking with the Church]. At the same time, it leaves open to legitimate discussion the examination and theological explanation of individual expressions and formulations contained in the documents of Vatican Council II and of the later Magisterium.”  There you have it;  no more and no less (emphasis from the SSPX website).

Clearly Pope Benedict is emphasizing continuity and nowhere does he or the CDF make the proper interpretation of the Council dependent on the discernment between infallible doctrine and pastoral directives.  Clearly there is a distinction, but one could hardly expect the pastoral thrust of the Council to be rejected by the very Magisterium that has defended it. Obviously, this is the hope of many, but, of course, this is the crux of the problem.

Here is one interesting comment from Fr. Z’s blogposton the subject:

 I think, if this all works out, the SSPX will be an influence on the rest of the Church. There are many in the Institute of Christ the King and Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (et al!) who personally reject all of the documents of the Second Vatican Council, but have been afraid to say so. This would open up a huge door, essentially allowing a “pro-choice” position on Vatican II without fear of suspension.

One can only wonder if the comment reflects the reality of the situation within traditionalist organizations that officially profess to accept Vatican II.  In any case, “pro-choice” is an interesting choice of words.  This tendency to hope for some loophole for Conciliar rejection goes way beyond what has been so far revealed about the “doctrinal preamble.”  No surprise there.

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Feb 22, 2022, on the feast of the Chair of St. Peter, how Jesus gives Peter the keys of the kingdom, and how the Chair of Peter symbolizes this authority and is a symbol of Church unity.

Notes:

Matthew 16:13-19 https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/16#48016012

If we lack respect for the Pope then we are sinning against the fourth commandment honor your mother and father

two ways to sin against Popes authority

one is to ignore his authority and demonizing

and the other is to dogmatize everything he says

We should not be reactionary in favor or against anything the pope says.

Peter is the Vicar of Christ live Vice President

Psalm 23 He is the one who shepherds in place of Christ

Authority to bind and loose

Peter professes Jesus as Christ and Christ professes him as the rock of the Church

Whatever you lose on earth will be loosed in heaven …

Much rejection of Christ Liberals and Conservatives

SSPX and sedevacantists are just as against the authority as those on the extreme left and just as dangerous.

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Sep 16, 2022, on the fourth installment of his series on corporal works of mercy, giving shelter to the homeless.

“Emergency of faith” is often given as an excuse; instead of shelter, it is a prison

We can always find priests or bishops that will justify our errors

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Sep 29, 2022, on the first spiritual work of mercy, counsel the doubtful as he continues his series on the works of mercy.

Compendium or the Catechism – https://www.vatican.va/archive/compendium_ccc/documents/archive_2005_compendium-ccc_en.html

Prove 15 22 with many advisers – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/proverbs/15?22

Prov 11 14 with an abundance of counselors, there is safety – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/proverbs/11?14

St Francis asked counsel about the direction of his order.

Is 9 6 – you us a prophet will be – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/isaiah/9?6

John 14 16,17, 26 – Jesus calls HS the counselor, counseling is cooperating in work of God – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/14?16

God does not always give answers directly but through others, seek and you will find Mt 7 7 – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/7?7

Even simple spiritual advice is very important

Two examples of *bad* counsel, one liberal, one conservative:

Dr. Phil and Lila Rose – Dr. Phil says the scientific community is not sure when life begins; we must decide, similar to the justification of slavery. If in doubt, then don’t kill. need to have a heart for the truth, need to decide if persons are open to receiving counsel

2nd example –  SSPX – An auxiliary bishop in a foreign country says SSPX are not in schism and acceptable deviations given the emergency at hand

John Salza addresses all this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13PPsRdf7Q8

“not formally excommunicated”, but neither are the Easter Orthodox, but they are in schism and all those who participate in abortion ar excommunicated

Papal document JPII – Ecclesia Dei on SSPX we need to be united and cease support of them – https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_commissions/ecclsdei/documents/hf_jp-ii_motu-proprio_02071988_ecclesia-dei_en.html

There is only one Church, and if someone is baptized, then they are a member, but what is their unitive status, they are not submitting themselves to the hierarchy

“But they are keeping the faith” Benedict XI disagrees, and they reject JPII’s 1989 Profession of faith

“But they are given ” yes but so can the Orthodox priests

“Continuing to do what the saints did,” but what saint ever was disobedient to the pope, ignoring all censures, denigrating the pope, and rejecting the church of Rome

“Emergency of faith” is simply a license to do what you want, whether you are Marcel Lefebvre or Martin Luther

Auxiliary bishop in far away country does not have jurisdiction here nor even in his diocese, that is for the bishop only

To follow him and not the Church is to be Protestant, Not a game, gambling with soul.

Mat 18 17 – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/18?17

Don’t associate with them

St. Augustine, do not count them as one of our members

Bad counsel is coming from the left and the right

To give good counsel is an act of mercy

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Nov 15, 2022, on how the admonitions of the Church in Sardis and Laodicea in the book of Revelation and in the Gospel apply to the SSPX of Lefebvre and whether they are in schism or not.

Canon 751 – Schism is rejecting the pope’s authority in practice even if they say they respect him – https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html

and rejecting the authority local bishop, setting up a parallel church

St. Ignatius and his letters regarding bishops apply

John Salza – Divine law requires  – https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq_RFZc66GAoLH9T-N_V0TEmQxEyLa8i4

1 – refuse submission to the pontiff

2 – refuse the external form of submission

3 – set up their own tribunals overriding the authority

They set up a parallel church, with bishops, seminaries, and tribunals, thus not in the Church, and this is precisely the opposite of what the saints did.

Popes have called them schismatic:

JPII – Apostolic Letter “Ecclesia Dei Adflicta” of 1988 paragraphs 3, 4 and 5c  – it is a schism and should not be supported in any way – https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/motu_proprio/documents/hf_jp-ii_motu-proprio_02071988_ecclesia-dei.html

Pope Francis – letter that accompanied the Motu Proprio “Traditionis Custodes” –  “motivated by the desire to foster the healing of the *schism* w/ the movement of Mons. Lefebvre.” – https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/letters/2021/documents/20210716-lettera-vescovi-liturgia.html

Other letters

To deny that they are in schism is to fall into the same word games as the modernists.

Lifting the excommunications did not take away the schism any more than lifting the excommunication of the Easter Orthodox bishops does not heal that one.

Impatience displayed by their disobedience is a refusal to suffer in the footsteps of Christ.

Saints are always obedient. Schism is false reform. True reform is to stay in the Church and become saints.

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Nov 16, 2022, on the communication between Pope Paul VI and Archbishop Lefebvre, founder of the SSPX (Society of St. Pius X) as the pope was trying to convince his wayward son to cease his rebellion. The pope points out that Lefebvre had a distorted theology on Tradition and the Church. This refers to recently published unedited writings of Paul VI from the book “La barca di Paolo” by Leonardo Sapienza, “The Barque of Paul” https://www.amazon.it/barca-Paolo-Leonardo-Sapienza/dp/8892215051

Notes:

Letter of June 29, 1975, after SSPX was suppressed – http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/lefebvre-june-29-letter-from-paul-vi.html

Lefebvre and his followers compared himself to Athanasius, who fought almost single-handedly against the majority of bishops.

But Paul VI points out Athanasius was backed by the preceding ecumenical council, the Council of Nicea, whereas Lefebvre railed against the preceding ecumenical council, Vatican II.

Faculties were taken away from Lefebvre, but he ignored this, performing illicit masses and priestly ordinations in front of thousands with large crowds of journalists.

Paul VI’s private audience with Lefebvre at Castel Gandolfo Sept. 11th of 1976 – some of this is included in an article here: https://www.ncronline.org/vatican/paul-vi-accused-archbishop-lefebvre-acting-antipope

Paul VI: Lefebvre you have taken the position of an Anti-Pope, Denied Papal infallibility, called the pope a modernist and disobeyed the pope in front of large crowds.

Lefebvre blames everyone but himself.

Problems do exist in the Church since the council that Pope Paul admitted and strived to correct

But disobedience is not edification of the Church.

The final letter of Paul VI on the errors of Lefebvre. Oct. 11th, 1976, There are 2: 1) a “distorted concept of Tradition” & 2) a “warped ecclesiology” – a warped understanding of the Church itself. http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/lefebvre-october-11-letter-from-pope.html

2009 BXVI problems are primarily doctrinal

Turned small t into big T

Ditched the Tradition of Papal primacy, putting himself in league with Luther, Luther applied personal interpretation to the Bible, and Lefebvre did the same to Tradition.

Ironically rejected the collegiality of Vatican II in favor of strict Papal Supremacy but then disobeyed the supreme pope.

Denied the indefectibility of the Church calling the Catholic Church a “Conciliar” & a “schismatic” Church

Msgr. John Magee, secretary of Pope Paul VI, says the pope did great penance as a just reparation for the grave offenses to God that Lefebvre committed.

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Nov 17, 2022, on what the church says about going to SSPX masses. Can we go there?

The question is actually three separate but related questions:

1 – Can I attend?

2 – Does it fulfill the Sunday obligation?

3 – Can I receive communion?

Can I attend an SSPX? No, because they do not have faculties. So their mass is illicit and therefore sacrilegious to receive.

Can I receive communion? No, you can not.

Does it fulfill Can. 1248 must receive at a Catholic parish. – https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib4-cann1244-1253_en.html

Father covers the correspondence and statements of Msgr. Camille Perl, Secretary of the Ecclesia Dei Commission, which were firmly and consistently against attending the SSPX masses, contrary to SSPX assertions.

An objection is that Can. 844 overrules Can 1248, which says we can attend non-catholic services, but this is only under extreme situations where there are no Catholic Churches available, and even then it does not mean that you will fulfill your Sunday obligation, only the divine precept to worship – https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib4-cann834-878_en.html#BOOK_IV

Lack of access to a 1962 Latin Mass does not constitute an extreme situation.

There is a distinction between Divine law and Church law. – Divine law is to worship God in some way on Sunday, Church law says you must go to a Catholic parish mass each Sunday.

In “Ecclesia Dei Adflicta,” 5c that the faithful should “cease their support in any way for that movement” & that “formal adherence to the schism … carries the penalty of excommunication decreed by the Church’s law” https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/motu_proprio/documents/hf_jp-ii_motu-proprio_02071988_ecclesia-dei.html

Can he ever attend a mass? Not necessarily sinful but unwise at the very least, given the schismatic mentality that prevails.

Sin to knowingly put yourself in an occasion of sin.

Church has bent over to bring them back in an ecumenical spirit

Does any diocese allow attending or receiving communion? Not that I know, but ask your bishop

Pope Francis is accused

Ask yourself, Why would I attend

Am I more attached to the old mass than to the will of God?

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble,” 1 Pt 5:5 and Jas 4:6

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Nov 18, 2022, on the consecration of the basilicas of St Paul and St Peter built by Constantine and how it relates to the Concordia Apostolorum about unity in the Church and how it relates to the schism of 1054 AD between Eastern Orthodoxy and Western Catholicism and how it is the solution to the SSPX schism. We must have the humility to submit to the authority of the Church and thus avoid the pride of division and discord.

Catechism outside CCC 846 – “Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.” – http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p123a9p3.htm#846

What does it mean to be not the Church?

It is not being good pastors to sugarcoat problems and issues in the Church.

SSPX was suppressed in 1975, and faculties were removed, and yet they still celebrated mass illicitly, rejecting Vatican II, calling the mass of Paul VI evil.

SSPX rightly points out the confusion of such sugar-coating by liberals but fails to apply it to themselves.

Starve the schism, don’t go, don’t listen to their apologists, avoid traditionalist websites

Look at good websites that give antidotes like:

Reason and Theology – Michael Lofton: https://www.youtube.com/@ReasonandTheology

The Logos Project – https://www.youtube.com/@thelogosproject7

and, of course, our channel 🙂

Keep the SSPX in your prayers.
